Description

Combat Commander: Battle Pack #6 –
Sea Lion is the sixth themed collection of scenarios for use with
the Combat Commander series of games. The theme of this Battle Pack
carries forward from BP #5 and presents a what if situation of a
successful invasion of Great Britain. The early and successful
conclusion to the Battle of Britain allows the Luftwaffe to dominate
the skies over southern England and the Channel Ports of Southampton
and Portsmouth. The actions represented in the battle pack cover the
period of late September thru December 1940 and showcase the initial
invasion, the Axis advance towards London, its eventual capture, the
early entry of the United States into the war, and finally the
British counter offensive, Operation Tremor, to drive the hated
enemy from its shores. CC-Sea Lion features ten new scenarios
printed on card stock and ten new maps. Players will find scenario
special rules to cover such topics as:

Airdrops (both Fallschirmjäger
and supplies)

Prison Breaks

British Fascist uprisings

Targeted Sniper Attacks

Partisan attacks on German Rear
Areas

Alternative night rules for
Opportunity Fire

The new maps depict specific locations
in southern England, several of which the designer has personally
visited. The player will get to fight over critical areas such as
Portsmouth, the Medway River, Trafalgar Square and Holloway Prison in
London, and the Port of Dover. Can you command the troops at your
disposal to crush the British spirit and win the war for Germany or
muster the remnants of the forces rescued from Dunkirk and the Home
Guard to repel the invader and send him back across the Channel?
